When to start a Market Access search.
Start the conversation while the role and commercial build are taking shape, before candidate outreach. Define the launch stage, payer environment, distribution model, reporting line, and decision rights together.
A useful brief separates required product, payer, and channel experience from preferences that would unnecessarily narrow the market. Agree what the hire must own before choosing the seniority or search model. For the wider organization, see the commercial launch team hiring sequence.
Executive search or fractional recruiting.
Executive search fits a critical senior or specialist appointment. Role calibration, market mapping, and discreet outreach focus the search on the leader who will own the mandate.
Fractional recruiting adds embedded recruiting capacity around active hiring. Sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and hiring-manager calibration support the work across roles. The model is recruiting support around active roles.
